Learning about Filters (camera motion)

For this end of the experiment, I decided to use the idea of forced motion of the camera to sustain a 'wiggly'
effect.  Mostly, I just used slow aperture and shutter speeds, firing and twisting the camera at the same time.  I used a fairly busy arrangement, so that there would be a blend of noise created by the motion that would be somewhat asthetic. I also used a range of motions from 180 degree twisting, to lateral and vertical motions. Here are the results, shot through a Lt. Blue filter, using Kodak CN400 film.

Learning about Filters (black and white)

For this experiment, I used only the Lt. Blue and the Lt. Orange filters, with several different arrangements and the white snow as a back drop.  The flowers are a deep crimson, burnt yellow and burnt sienna.  The film I used was Kodak CN400 Professional at 400-1000ASA.  I used several different settings to capture this series, and the film lives up to most of its claims. You could honestly give an slr to a 8 yr old, show them how to focus and shoot, and at pretty near any setting, the film is functional.  It has the widest exposure latitude that I have seen in a black and white film, thus far.

 

crazy

sometimes

the crazy days

are the best days

Growth in Dust of War

Winter is a war
frozen
consuming

We break from a false skin
and grow
new leaves
any-how

Spring is not our last chance

Our last battle
Our last song
Our last riddles
are only waiting for the winter to arrive
